Star Citizen is a massive, persistent online space-simulation game. Imagine, a huge game-world of epic scale with space battles, spaceship upgrades, exploring planets and systems.

How is it different?
This game feels totally different. It's not like regular video games, in many ways. (It feels more real and complete.) It really aims for something truly unique in the online video game world.
The Immersive Experience
Star Citizen tries hard to make you feel like you're truly out in space, in your own spaceship.
Graphics and Sound:
The graphics are top notch! Everything from the massive spaceships to the space, planets, all give the feeling that you're really flying amongst the stars. (Seriously, I love the details of everything!) And the sounds! Amazing audio. It totally pulls you into the game's atmosphere.
Game Mechanics:
Space is truly empty. Amazing to fly in space! Ship battles, trade routes – you really feel like you're piloting your vessel, experiencing real-world interactions! (Really different, I think I understood quickly how it feels to really be flying!)
The Controversy and Current Status
Star Citizen has been in development for a super long time. It was announced and launched long ago but many players found problems (Some things, not up to snuff!) It isn't perfect. People keep posting about that (Bugs here and there are seen)
Some of the drawbacks:
-
Huge amount of progress yet needed (still is under development and testing.)
-
"There are a lot of empty systems" comments in social forums from some disappointed players!
What players are saying about the game
"It's like a real-world version of space. Very immersive and amazing!", says one person on Reddit ( I hear that a lot.)
"There is still a bit of confusion, but they are adding more to it every week, " commented one satisfied player on Twitch.
"At first I didn't get the point, and was pretty frustrated. Then, a huge friendly person helped me out."
Another review stated, "This is something incredible that truly pushes the boundaries."

Conclusion

This really takes you on an adventure into space in incredible ways. There's a really compelling reason, why so many players have been drawn in by the scope of this game and why they spend a lot of time.

Consider the pros and cons of in-game buying carefully. This would be important for you before spending money and trying it out for yourself. Have an adventure in space!.
